The flurry of criticism led Sneakers to defend its decision in a Facebook post.

"We are here to serve people BREAKFAST, not politics," the restaurant wrote. "We removed the sign that was located on public property as a gesture of respect for our diverse community. There were also concerns raised about safety. Removing it was not a difficult decision. We still love bacon. We still love eggs. Please have the political conversation elsewhere."

The issue, though, remains a hot topic and the restaurant eventually took down its entire Facebook page, according to the Free Press.
